Hosea 2:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ I will make for you^[a] a covenant on that day with the wild animals, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish^[b] the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety. ¹⁹ And I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. ²⁰ I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.
